  "account": "Jellyfin 12.0 is a new stable release that builds upon the foundation laid by 10.11. This upgrade focuses on real performance improvements and enhanced support for books and comics. Before upgrading, ensure you have a full manual backup of your data and configuration directories. Upgrading directly from 10.11.x is supported, but if on an older version, first upgrade to 10.10.7, then to 12.0. After upgrading, perform a full library scan as versions that Jellyfin grouped automatically will be cleared during the upgrade. The first scan after upgrading may take longer and some movies may appear as newly added, which is expected. It is crucial to read this section before upgrading to prevent issues.",
